  CrossFit: Benchmark workout 

  When we last saw our hero he was sucking wind after doing this:
  Complete as many rounds in 20 minutes of:
  - 5 burpees
  - 10 Ball Slams (16lbs)
  - 15 Box Jumps (24 inch height box) – ouch

  I did 8 rounds + 5 burpees + 10 ball slams + 14 box jumps on July 23.

  Today, 12 rounds + 5 burpees. w00p w00p.

  So old -> new reps:
  45 -> 65 burpees (42% improvement)
  90 -> 120 Ball Slams (33%)
  134 -> 180 Box Jumps (34%)

  Laura rocked the house as well:
  - 4 burpees
  - 8 Ball Slams (12lbs)
  - 12 Box Jumps (16 inch height box)

  First time: 9 rounds + 4 Burpees + 8 Ball Slams on July 23rd.

  Second time: 14 rounds + 5 Burpees + 8 Ball Slams.

  Old -> new:
  40 -> 60 (50%)
  80 -> 120 (50%)
  108 -> 168 (56%)

  Hot sauce.

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 4 [Updated] 

  From the BigSoccer forums:

  Certain Shaw Customers in a panic: If this helps -

  At 11:35 this morning, I called Bell ExpressVu. Customer service representative knew nothing about Setanta. I persisted, and after 12 minutes he came back and said that his Supervisors had indicated that there was no final deal with Setanta and that “down the road” we may have information. I told the Rep. that the Channel was supposed to be up and running today by 10:00 am and that it would be on Channel 420.

  I was told that my facts were wrong, and that he was in possession of the latest information.

  24 minutes later, Bell ExpressVu activated channel 420 with a notation that the channel will go “live” on August 11.

  The moral to this story. The customer reps know nothing. They’re ill-advised. Give it time. If the news came out only today, it’ll take a day to have it filtered down. Hang tough. It’s happening.

  Update: the channel is live:

  CUC starts today. I’ll be heading down to catch the last game of the day. But I plan on catching everything on Saturday and Sunday. Toronto has a bunch of good teams with real shots at taking Open (GOAT), Mixed (Snipe and Monster), Womens (Capitals) and Juniors (DIRT).

  Setanta on Bell ExpressVu Canada round 3 

  I call Bell yesterday regarding Setanta. Apparently, they’re still negotiating the deal. I’m not optimistic that it will be available for this weekend. The August 2nd Remote Control is more optimistic than I am.

  We’re missing a few good matchups:
  - Sunderland at Tottenham
  - ManU at Reading on Sunday
  - Chelsea at Birmingham on Sunday

  The Score lucked out and got West Ham at ManCity – which will be a boring game.

  I subbed rope climbs for Pullups today, ’twas fun.
